Did you know

• Like with Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and London Has Fallen (2016), Morgan Freeman has openly admitted in interviews that he did this movie mainly for the money. As he explained for the previous two: "Money. It's the third in a series it pays better than the first one. I get to play the president again, I'm in a successful series, I'm working with a guy I really admire and like. It's perfect." When asked whether he still felt "fire in his belly" with regard to acting, he said: "I enjoy it, I still enjoy it. I love making movies, but it's more like smouldering embers now."

• The G20 summit shown in the film, which President Trumbull attends, is actual footage of the 2017 G20 summit in Hamburg, Germany. Trumbull (Morgan Freeman) was edited in place of Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and U.K. Prime Minister Theresa May was edited out.

• Piper Perabo replaced Radha Mitchell as Leah Banning, Mike's wife, whom Mitchell played in Olympus Has Fallen (2013) and London Has Fallen (2016).
